Dick's Drive-In

What a great dive! This is a walk-up or drive-thru only place! There is a stainless steel standing table for like 8 people if you eat your order there. But don't expect anything else for seating or a table. That said, you can't beat the price and taste! The buns were buttered and toasted to a perfect crispy toasty goodness to compliment the cheap burger it is holding. The fries are Crispy and has the skin on! Which is yummy! The milkshakes are thick and sweet! Definitely will be coming back again and again!

Had to try this local staple. Very simple menu. Very affordable, but you have to pay for any condiments or extras. Solid burger and homemade fries that are not as crispy as the fast food chains ,but seem more natural and not pre- blanched or frozen. It was a cold evening very long line that moved very fast, and a delightful street musician made our experience very pleasant and authentic. Did not try the ice cream or shakes because of the cold weather, will try during summer!

Was told by the Seattle locals that you gotta get a "bag of dicks" while in Washington so while in Capitol Hill I had to try Dicks Drive In 😄 Raised on In n Out so trying this was very underwhelming....place was a bit crowded as its a to go place with a couple of counters if you want to stand and eat too. Ordered a cheeseburger and fries. Cheap eats, fast service but nothing special in terms of recommendation or I gotta go back again. Crossed one off my bucket list though🤙

I am obsessed with Dick's. The food comes out instantaneously and is so simple but still so delicious. I also love that the vibe of the restaurant feels very 1950s and vintage. Good fast food, perfect for eating after a night out.

Mid tier burger at best. Fries good. About as cheap as food gets in Seattle. Right by the Capitol Hill light rail station so easy to get to if you are a tourist wanting to try a Seattle staple.

Dick's Drive-In: A Timeless Seattle Classic Worth Every Bite Seattle, a city renowned for its progressive culinary scene, is home to many iconic eateries, but none quite hold a candle to the enduring charm of Dick's Drive-In. This beloved burger joint has become more than just a place to eat; it's a part of my life. Every visit to my best friend—or even a solo adventure—would feel incomplete without a stop here. The allure of Dick's lies not only in its nostalgic atmosphere but also in its unpretentious approach to food, serving up satisfying flavors that resonate deeply with both my appetite and fond memories. After my best friend's wedding, I was particularly eager to indulge in a celebratory meal at this cherished spot—a perfect conclusion to a wondrous day filled with joy and love. At the center of my order was the Deluxe Burger, a quintessential representation of Dick's philosophy towards food. Each bite unfurled a rich tapestry of flavors and textures that danced on my palate. The 1/8-pound grilled patties, crafted from 100% real beef, offered a juicy, mouthwatering experience that reminded me of what a good hamburger should taste like: rich and decadent without being overwhelming. The melted American cheese provided a creamy, velvety layer that married perfectly with the tang of freshly shredded lettuce and a splash of tangy-sweet pickle relish. The luscious, creamy mayonnaise elevated the harmonious balance of flavors, all embraced by locally baked buns delivered fresh every morning. It's a burger that thrives on simplicity, free of pretension and gimmicks, celebrating the purity of expertly sourced and prepared ingredients. No visit to Dick's would be complete without indulging in their signature Fries, which honor the region's commitment to quality. These hand-cut fries, crafted from 100% real potatoes, were fried to a delectable golden brown in high oleic sunflower oil—a choice that boasts a clean flavor and caters to those with allergenic sensitivities. Each fry had a delightful crunch, giving way to a fluffy interior seasoned enough to enhance the natural potato flavor without overpowering it. As I savored each bite, I was reminded of the attention to detail that goes into every aspect of this enduring establishment. To round off my meal, I treated myself to a heavenly Strawberry Milkshake. Prepared in an old-fashioned way with 100% real ice cream, the shake was hand-dipped and meticulously whipped to a creamy, luscious consistency. Each sip transported me back to a simpler time, evoking the charm of classic diner fare with just the hint of fruity sweetness lingering on the tongue. The milkshake was both a refreshing delight and a decadent indulgence, perfectly capturing the essence of Dick's—their unwavering commitment to quality shines through every detail.

For me, it has become a culinary tradition that harmoniously complements the lively spirit and culture of the Emerald City. The quality and tradition that Dick's embodies is a testament to its unwavering commitment to serving the best to its patrons.

Craving for local hamburger? This is the place to go. No frills and prices are kept affordable. Went for the vanilla shake and did not disappoint! Shake is not too heavy like most places- and burger is good! But for walk-ins, you have to stand and eat at the counter. The area is clean.

This has been my fav place since I was in high school . I have since moved across the country but still have to fly back to Seattle here and there and when I do this is ALWAYS my first stop. Burgers are amazing. Simple yet flavorful. Their skates too are great . And I have traveled a bit. Hey if billionaires choose to stand in line and get their burgers …..
